Eltiera Heights by Ellington

Eltiera Heights is an off-plan residential tower by Ellington Properties in Jumeirah Islands, Dubai. It comprises 355 residences across 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and 4 bedroom penthouses, with retail at ground level and a first-floor amenity deck, and handover is expected in Q4 2028.

Eltiera Heights sits in Jumeirah Islands, which lies east of Sheikh Zayed Road between interchanges 5 and 6 at the southern edge of Jumeirah Lakes Towers. The developer's location guide puts Jumeirah Islands Pavilion and Jumeirah Lakes Towers about 1 minute's drive away, Dubai Marina Yacht Club about 8 minutes, Palm Jumeirah about 14 minutes and Dubai International Airport about 35 minutes. The developer's location map also shows the Dubai Metro line along Sheikh Zayed Road beside Jumeirah Lakes Towers.

The price list covers four layouts: 1 bedroom apartments of 820 to 895 sq ft (76 to 83 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments of 1,237 to 1,393 sq ft (115 to 129 sq m), 3 bedroom apartments of 1,640 to 1,950 sq ft (152 to 181 sq m), and 4 bedroom penthouses of 5,810 to 6,085 sq ft (540 to 565 sq m) on the tower's top floors.

Prices start from AED 1.80M ≈ USD 490K for a 1 bedroom apartment. 2 bedroom apartments start from AED 3.03M ≈ USD 824K, 3 bedroom apartments from AED 4.20M ≈ USD 1.14M, and 4 bedroom penthouses from AED 14.89M ≈ USD 4.06M, with the final figure depending on the unit, floor and availability at the time of booking.

The developer lists a 40-metre infinity pool with a pool pavilion, sun loungers and cabanas; a wellness spa with vitality pool and Japanese bath; a clubhouse with games area, karaoke room and podcast room; a grooming and beauty lounge; indoor and outdoor fitness, kids play and yoga areas; a game terrace, outdoor dining and an outdoor greenhouse pavilion; and a drop-off and arrival plaza, lobby lounge, F&B and retail shops, EV charging, bicycle parking and an independent car wash bay.

Handover is expected in Q4 2028. The project is at an early construction stage, so buyers should confirm the current construction timetable with the developer in writing. Progress against DLD register and RERA inspection data is tracked in the Eltiera Heights construction updates guide.

Buyers pay 20% at booking together with the 4% DLD registration fee, then 10% at 60 days and 5% at each of 120, 180, 240 and 360 days after the reservation date. Four further 5% instalments are linked to construction milestones set by the developer, and the final 30% is due on completion.

The main one-off cost is the 4% DLD registration fee, paid at booking alongside the 20% down payment. The developer's anticipated service charge is AED 21 per sq.ft, an estimate rather than a fixed figure. The developer allocates one parking space to 1 and 2 bedroom units and two parking spaces to 3 and 4 bedroom units.

Yes. Eltiera Heights is a freehold project, open to buyers of all nationalities, so non-UAE nationals can own their unit outright and register it in their own name.

The UAE Golden Visa property route requires an investment of at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. At Eltiera Heights, the 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom apartments and the 4 bedroom penthouses start above that threshold, while the 1 bedroom, from AED 1.80M, does not reach it on its own. Eligibility and approval rest with the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) under its current rules. The Eltiera Heights Golden Visa guide sets out the steps in detail.

Off plan payments are made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account, held with National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah, and released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Eltiera Heights escrow account guide explains how the account works and how to check it.

Yes. Reservation, SPA signing, payments and DLD registration can all be completed remotely, and I manage the process end to end with the developer on your behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
